A LOOK AT THE THISTLE.
Her Model Not Very Different From
the Standard Cutter.

the Standard Cutter.
New YORK, Sept 21.--The Scotch yacht
Thistle was docked this morning. Mr..
Hystop, measurer of the New York Yacht
Club, made out-board and in-board meas
urements of the Thistle. While the water
was being pumped out of the dock her
water lire, stem, bowsprit, main
boom, gaf mainmast and topmast were
measured. From what could be seen of her
bottom there appeared to be a general
resemblance to the Volunteer with the ex-
ception of the rounding of the side in the
Thistle This does not extend so low or so
far aft as in the big white sloop. Then,
too, all talk of her model being so different
from the standard cutter was all nonsense.
She is a typical cutter. Although she is
not so foul as was thought, she is rough only
where the paint is worn off in patches.
When the entire keel was revealed it was
seen that there was not a straight line in
her hull. Her bow made a sharp angle
to the midship section, and from there
to the stern post. There was also slight
curve in the bottom of the keel The princi-
pal shoulders of the yacht are amidship, or
nearly so, and it is in that place that the
model makes any pretense of beam. Capt.
Joe Ellsworth said after looking very care
fully over the vessel, that there was not
enough boat there to beat the Volunteer.
Steward Neis Olsen, of the New York
Yacht Club, said she was more
like big catboat in build
than anything else. Critics, while admir-
ing her bow and overhang, agreed that she
was not boat to stand rough weather. but
they believe, as they have done all along,
that sls. will be a very fast boat in light
weather

some action.

WHEAT IN ENGLAND.
Lord Churchill Tells Farmers They
Can't Raise it Profitably.

LONDON, Sept. 21.--Lord Randolph
Churchill, addressing a meeting of farmers
at York, said the present low prices of
wheat were ruinous to the farmers AS a
politician he had not grain of comfort to
offer them, The British farmer growing
wheat, he said, did not seem to know when
he was beaten. Lord Churchill said
he foresaw nothing that was likely TO cause
IA rise in the price Of wheat sufficient to af
ford profit to the grower. Foreign inn
ports were great, not from America only,
but from other countries. The farmers of
England should realize thoroughly that
India is tremendous granary, and will CON
tinue to pour into tho English market in
creasing quantities of wheat This radical
change in the condition Of farming should
prepare all persons interested in agriculture
to adapt themselves to the changes.
